It's a keeper!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was not able to find the Snake beans (thou it would have been too cool.) in my market, so I actually made the recipe with... frozen green beans. They still turned out perfect. A nice crunchy bite with just a little hint of heat in the background. I ended up mixing them in with the Shiitake Mushroom brown rice and could have easily made that a meal in itself! So good!!Read more

best beans ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this is one of my favorite vegetables. We call it Bora in Guyana, and here in New York it can be found in Richmond Hill in... Queens. Very popular among the guyanese community. I love the new way of cooking these long beans, very tasty.Read more

So Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After watching the show the recipes in this episode looked so delicious that I had to try them. Aaron always makes preparing... food seem so easy. I made the Hoisin-glazed chicken, the mushroom brown rice and whole glazed green beans (I didn't use Chinese long beans or the Cornish hen) but it was great anyway. My family really enjoyed the meal, it couldn't have been better. Thanks Big Daddy! Read more
